Nature Center Day–Turned Spinosaurus/T-Rex Hunt

The day began as an innocent trip to the local Nature Center, but ended with an epic hunt for the elusive Spinosaurus. No-wait, T-Rex. No, Spinosaurus (or was it a T-Rex?)… As I said, the day began as a simple trip to the Nature Center, but when you have a 2-year-old (any child, for that matter), does “simple” ever-really apply? If you …

Trying to explain the world to my son

My son is nearly 2 (and a half) years old. I know, in the next few years, I will need to answer some tough and not-so-tough questions that he will have. Questions like: “Dada, why is the sky blue?” “Dada, why can’t I have ice cream before bed?” “Dada, why do my brother and me have different last names?” “Dada, …

Sports, my son, T-Rex, Snakie and an All-star

I am watching the MLB All-star game. My son is watching the game in between playing with a T-Rex action figure (his plastic  T-Rex is an action figure to my son, as G.I. Joes were action figures for me) and fighting the big green snake. This was an epic battle: T-Rex on top, then Snakie would turn the tables. This …

Finding time to work at home

Working from home can be pretty tough–even tougher with a 2 year old. I love my time with my son. I love how I can see him grow and all that child-like wonderment that comes with it. All that being said, it is pretty tough to fit work in there–with all the games of chase, meals, going here and there, …

Making new friends

I am  trying to teach my son how to make new friends. Being 2 years old, and not knowing what to say to someone you just met, can be a difficult and scary experience. I am 40 years old and I’m still not sure how to make friends with people I just met… And, now I am trying to teach …

Showing Affection

I love my son and I love showing him that love whenever I can–be it a hug, cuddling, and of course kisses. I belong to a group of few Dad Bloggers; and, I find that, like me, there are fellow dads who show love to their children in public and they are looked at funny by the other parents, or …

‘Man of Steel’ Review (Spoilers if you have not seen it wait to read)

I should start off by saying I am a huge comic-book, cartoon-watching nerd–from way back. I am always up for watching whatever summer superhero movie is out. I have really enjoyed the tidal wave of superhero movies over the last 10 years or so, and, yes, I do love how the CGI has caught up with what is put on paper …

Fun day out

It has been really hot here for the last month, so going outside has been pretty tough. Evening trips to the park when it is cool seem to be the norm as of late. To break up the same-ole-same-ole, we went to the Natural History Museum today. As always, we spent a lot of time around the dinosaurs–T-Rex being his main …

What does it mean to be a Dad or a hero

“My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure.”  Abraham Lincoln I ask myself this question each day–upon waking and at the end of each day. Can I do better? Have I done enough? Will this cause massive amounts of therapy in a few years? Will that fall lead to a scar? …

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Making chocolate chip cookies is fun and easy to do. It is something you can do with your child anytime, and it also adds to your waistline. Of course, we do it for our children, right? It’s a tough sacrifice, but it has too be done! Chocolate chip (or M&M) cookies are always a great (and fun) activity that we love …
